If retiring at 29 with nearly $100 million in career earnings (without counting endorsements) and a degree from Stanford is the most millennial thing ever, then millennials are doing just fine.

So, last year at Mudcats games, I noticed a small child sitting to right of home plate who was *obsessed* with the umpires. Mimicked every strike call, brought his own mask (IIRC) and everything. So yesterday, here he is, in full regalia, at the plate meeting, with the real umps.

Ryan Clifford was the

11th-round pick in 2022 and got the second-highest bonus in their class.
Judging by this clip of his home run from last night, I'd say they made a ... sound ... investment.

We’re getting a World Series with budding stars (Carroll, Moreno, Jung, Carter), a potential Cy Young winner (Gallen) and two teams who just knocked off a bunch of better regular-season clubs, and I swear all I see on this app is people complaining about the matchup. What gives?

Two pitchers on BA’s Top 100 have 80-grade fastballs.
DL Hall and Jacob Misiorowski.
Each pitcher also has a 70-grade SL and a 60-grade CB.
Both are now

prospects.
Both have significant control issues, but from a pure stuff standpoint that’s quite a 1-2 punch.

Since the Southern League changed over to the regular mud ball, Jackson Chourio's line looks like this:
.443/.506/.747, 5 2B, 2 3B, 5 HR, 19 RBIs, 9 BBs, 10 Ks
His 35 hits in that span are the most in the minor leagues.

Per Spotrac, Bauer's 2021 salary is more than the total payrolls of the Pirates, Indians and Orioles.
Trevor Bauer's three-year deal with the Dodgers is for $102 million guaranteed -- and for $40 million in 2021 and $45 million in 2022. He can opt out after each year, meaning he'll make $40M if he opts out this year, $85M if he does so after 2022 and $102M if he stays all three.
